Midnight Call

Flesh twists like sheet metal,

Bones shatter like glass.

Blood drips like gasoline,

Onto the fresh cut grass.

The sharpened teeth shred the door,

Cries fill the air.

One look in the trapped mans eyes,

Fills me with despair.

The car forms a coffin,

Around the body; once a man.

In its hand, tightly clinched,

Rests an empty beer can.

Cuts
Deep
and
Meaningful

So much depends upon

So much depends

A food induced
Coma

On a dirty
Couch

In front of a

Twinkle Rewrite

Shimmer, shimmer, shrunken shine.
What are you?!?
Far beyond our planet.
Like a spastic flashlight high above.
Shimmer, shimmer, shrunken shine.
What are you?!?

Favorite Holiday

Powdered Whigs

Recessing for praise
Vowing allegiance to ancient institutions
Chief articulates of prior pioneers

Riddle

I am a path that can not be explored.
I am the barren, Lush.
Always reaching toward the sky.
Kill me, and I come back;
Cut me to keep me healthy.
I make houses homes;
And the abandoned know.

Two Tone Poem

Grassy-Hot Pocket

Time slows down when I'm Relaxed Green.
Sleepy, Still, and Serene.
A warm soft blanket.
Relaxing on the couch with my cookies and chips.

But in an instant I'm an Explosive Red.
Wild, Fast, and Loud.
A fiery bullet of screaming terror.
A sweet and sour Tobasco pocket with fire sauce on it.

Together they make my life what it is,
Unpredictable
